Data Models of German Lute Tablature With TScore

TScore is both an abstract formalism and its computer implementation to construct models of arbitrary kinds of time-related data. It is a research project about the semantics of musical notation, applying the method of computer-aided re-modelling to diverse formalisms and semantics of time-related data. Here we present the application to German tablature notation. While the current implemention is merely a proof of concept, the lean architecture of TScore allows easy adaptation and extension.
